Burnham announces public grid company to take on private firms

Andy Burnham announced plans on Tuesday for Great British Grid, a publicly owned branch of Great British Energy that will compete with private grid operators. He said it would boost competition, cut costs and speed up connections, as firms complain they cannot get connected. He also promised Britain's first national energy plan and a stronger role for mayors and local leaders.
